Spring House Barrel Reserve Society (2018)

Thanks for the quick reply!

It was actually my fault because I posted the information/link from the invite.

 

You da man

 

Probably should apologize for the quick judgement of error geared towards them for something you botched up.

 

No big deal, it's all sorted out and the email confirmation has been sent out to the right person. No harm done.

 

I would like to apologize to Spring House for rushing to judgement and assuming there was an error when I received the email regarding someone else signing up for their barrel program.

I made the mistake of posting the invite that was sent to me personally. I shouldn't have posted the link and I shouldn't have rushed to judgement for the email I received.

 

It's cool man, no worries. Is it time for a beer yet?

 

Haha was just messing .

 

Get off the internet ... you're in Disney with your family!

 

You know how long the bus rides are!

 

Answer: even longer with a screaming 2 y.o.

 

Decided to join round 2. Hopefully it was a good decision. Followed this thread first time around and know a few people that were members, so I know the history, so I know to only blame myself if I'm disappointed, but figured I'd give it a shot. I think the beers mostly sound good, so hoping they come out a bit better than last time around!

 

I was a member in the last round and re-enlisted in the 2nd round. While it had a few hiccups with low carbonation and a beer that went sour, I was happy with the overall experience the first time and was happy with most of the beers. Its the only place to get in on a program like this without driving for an hour and its nice to have the opportunity to get some rarer barrel aged beers without driving an hour and standing in a long line. I was happy to see that they brought the program back.

 

Welcome back BradC! I'm psyched to try the new beers as well. I know the brewers had a sampling recently to check on the aging process, but I wasn't there so I missed out. Matt has also been doing barrel aged sours for our beer dinners and those were pretty great. Bring on Round 2!

 

@nikkikeasey I saw you mentioned barrels don't get reused, any word on if they were extra unused barrels or is BT still selling Pappy barrels?

 

I decided to give it a shot this year. I figured it's a good way to get some BA stuff without the hassle. I'm seeing that there were issues last year. Can someone give me a run down on that so I don't have to read through the last 1,000+ posts?

 

Do we know if the style of the glassware this round? A teku like last year but with the new SKULL logo, or snifter ... or just a giant glass boot?

 

In case anyone missed the email that went out on Wednesday...

@psbhockey12 I wondered the same thing re: glassware. I reached out to them to inquire.

 

Just got a response, they are tekus.

 

So when is the Hazel St bottle share?
